United Nations - Zaira is a tiny, remote community in the Solomon Islands, a group of over a thousand small islands in the southern Pacific Ocean. The sea and the forest are the people’s lifeline. In the face of growing interest from outside companies to log surrounding forests, the inhabitants of Zaira have created an eco-tourism initiative to provide an alternative and more sustainable form of financing both forests and their livelihoods.
The UN Forum on Forests (UNFF) Secretariat partnered with the Global Environment Facility, the UN Environment Programme and the UN Department of Public Information to produce four films highlighting innovative and cross-sectoral sources of financing for sustainable forest management in small island developing states and low forest cover countries. This film is part of the UNFF Facilitative Process which aims to increase forest financing worldwide.
